Title: Improved Treatment of Quebracho Extracts.
Inventor: REDLICH ALBERT
IPC: C14C3/12
Filed: 1909-06-21
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 14,516. Redlich, A., and Wladika, J. June 21. Materials for treating hides and skins. - A soluble extract of quebracho wood, which gives a clear solution, is made by treating with an alkali the hot liquor obtained by diffusion from the wood and subsequently adding an equivalent quantity of acid. The tanning-matters are thereby rendered soluble and may be drawn off from the precipitated non - tanning materials. The amount of alkali required is ascertained by measuring the quantity needed to dissolve the mud that settles from a sampling of the untreated liquor. The treatment with the alkali consists in heating the liquor without contact with the air, and preferably under pressure, for about two hours.

Filed: 1909-09-27
Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 22,045. Farrar, J. Sept. 27. Combing - machines.-In a Noble combing- machine, the ratchet arrangement employed to rotate the roller which supports the ball of sliver or wool to unwind it automatically is provided with a device controlled by the descent of the ball between the supporting-rollers as the size of the ball is reduced, which adjusts automatically the distance at each stroke over which the pawl engages with the ratchet-wheel. The ball f of sliver or wool rests on rollers d, e, the former of which is intermittently rotated by the usual pawl g and ratchet-wheel r. The ball rests on an arm j projecting from a pivoted counterweighted cam n, and, as it decreases in size and descends between the rollers, turns the cam to limit the movement of the lever h which carries the pawl g. A circular plate p is provided on the hanger a to prevent the ball of wool from fouling the cam n. The movement of the lever h may be limited by wedges moved down or up against the action of springs or gravity, or by a sheath gradually moved over the teeth of the ratchet-wheel.

Title: Improvements in Telephone Exchanges.
Filed: 1909-11-12
Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 26,269. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Nov. 14, 1908, [Convention date]. Semi-automatic exchange systems.-Means for temporarily closing a common circuit connected by one of a number of relays to one of a corresponding number of circuits, in such a manner that the common circuit cannot again be closed by this relay until it has been de-energized, is described as applied to a semi-automatic telephone exchange system. Each subscriber is connected to a preliminary selector by means of which he is connected, on calling, to an idle line leading to a disengaged operator. After enquiry, the operator selects, by means of a Strowger switch, the required subscriber, and then closes a circuit which, while retaining the connexion between the two subscribers by means of the relay in the selected line, releases the operator for further calls. In the Figure, the subscriber 33 is shown as connected to the subscriber 55. The preliminary selector VW<33> has selected an idle line a, b, c leading to the panel Z. The first effect of finding an idle line is to close a circuit of the battery G over the relay winding v, line c, winding r<1>, contacts b<1>, b<2>, contacts f<1>, f<2>, wire g, and interrupter U'. The relay R operates the switch arms u<1>, u<4>, and the operator's set is now connected over the leads a<z>, b<z> and arms u<1>, u<4> to the subscriber 33. After enquiry, he places the switch arm h on the contact 2, in order to prevent interference by another caller, and operates the calling-keys T<a> of the Strowger selector W. When the switch arms a<o>, b<o>, c<o> have been brought to the desired contacts, the switch arms f<1>, f<5> have been moved to the position shown, and the relays A, B are now in circuit with the leads a, b. The operator now momentarily brings the switch h on to its contact 3, and completes a circuit of the battery G over contact 3, lead g, contacts f<1>, f<3>, contacts u<7>, u<8>, winding r<2>, and contacts b<1>, b<3>. The effects of the windings r<1>, r<2> on the relay R now neutralize each other, and its armature falls back, but a circuit is still completed through the winding r<2> from battery G over resistance W, contacts f <4>, f contacts u<9>, u<8>, winding r<2>, and contacts b<1>, b<3>. The windings of the relay R remain energized while the connexion lasts, so that the line a, b, c cannot be used by a calling subscriber, but the circuit of the operator's set is free for other calls. In a modification, the condensers k<1>, k<2>, which are used to prevent current from the subscriber's line from operating the selector relays, are omitted, and additional switch arms are provided for the relay R to connect separate leads from the selectoroperating keys to the selector relays. Specification 9055/09 is referred to.

Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 26,847. Willans & Robinson, and Izod. E. G. Nov. 18. Axial - flow type; regulating; working-fluid supply.- A turbine comprises an impulse wheel b, Fig. 1, of large diameter and a reactionbladed drum a of small diameter. High-pressure steam passes by way of a valve f to the wheel band afterwards acts upon the reaction turbine a in conjunction with lowpressure steam admitted by way of a valve g to a port e. These valves f, g, Fig. 2, are actuated by a lever h, fulcrumed at j and controlled by a governor i. The low-pressure valve g is directly connected to the lever h, the length of stem being adjusted bv a screw s. A spring r allows the valve g to have a slight lead. The valve f has a spindle k connected to a lever l fulcrumed at m. The opposite end of the lever l is operated by stops n, o on the lever h, the latter being adjustable. By regulating the screw s and the stop o, highpressure or low-pressure steam only may be used, or both may be used in varying proportions.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Means for Measuring a Roll of Fabric.
Inventor: JONES JOHN TUDOR
IPC: G01B5/02
Filed: 1909-12-02
Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 28,127. Jones, J. T. Dec. 2. Feeding webs.-Rolls of fabric are measured by mounting them on a frame consisting of an axle carrying cross-pieces and adjustable side bars, the axle being mounted in the arms of a frame which carries tension bars and a tape support. The fabric is unwound from the roll and wound again on another board together with the tape measure which thus shows the length wound. The frame a has two arms a<1> with slots a<2> which serve as bearings for an axle b carrying frames b<1> near its ends. The frames b<1> have a serie of holes b<3>, in which are mounted the side bars b<4>, and the roll is mounted on the axle b by passing the axle down one side of the board and the adjustable side bars b' down the ends thereof. Springs may be provided to press the frames b<1> against the roll. The cloth passes from the roll over and under tension bars a<3> and under a bar a<4>, which carries a circular table a<6>, on which is supported, by means of a removable pin a<7>, a tape measure e<1>. The end of the measure is attached to the end of the material, which is then rewound with the tape, which thus measures the length rolled. The frame b<1> may be replaced by two bars joined by end pieces, the inner bars being perforated to receive the side bars b<4>, which then rest against the outer bars.

Abstract: 13,216. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 31. Watchmen, supervision systems for. - To enable a watchman to communicate from any station with the central office, a time-limit device is arranged in circuit with each station to operate a signal at the central office when the circuit at any station is closed for a predetermined time. The operator at the central office cuts a telephone into the circuit, after which the watchman at the particular station cuts in his telephone. The stations B, B<1>, &c., are provided with switches in circuits leading to the watchman's recorder A. A portion of the circuit common to all recorder-actuating circuits includes a thermal switch F, which, when the circuit is closed for a predetermined time, closes a local circuit containing a bell H to notify the operator at the central office. This operator then cuts in the telephone G, and the watchman cuts in his telephone L by means of the plug K. The station switches are so constructed that, if the arm C is moved to a midposition, a spring C' returns the arm to the " off " position. If the arm is moved to the extreme " on " position, it is held by a magnet D and released only when the current has been reduced by the insertion of the telephone G into the circuit.
